★ I use utility fabric that's "sticky" from Joann's, there's more info at bit.ly/resellerinstructions. You can order it online. ★ Try PhotoRoom For Free: sgzr.app.link/Mhmrr94wsfb Download Photoroom for free to try it out, but I personally use the premium version, because I can batch edit photos.

Quick tip, keep fingers out of photos or wear white gloves e.g. close up of labels. As it's more professional and safeguards from any racial prejudices that buyers might have.

I hope you are wrong about racial prejudices but do worry about age prejudice. I have always had extremely old-looking hands all my life (thanks Grandma, who I inherited this from! :) I do get regular manicures so my nails are not so scary though, and am constantly applying hand lotion so they don't look dry. But I also try not to take too much in photos and edit those hands. Also as a buyer, I have not bought something because I could figure out what the race of the person was from photos. If they have the item I'm looking for I don't care who I'm buying it from. I hope you are wrong.

I love your videos. I come from an accounting and programming background so I feel like we are on the same wavelength in regards to business processes. All the best!

Great video, thank you, Chris!

I like the new update on PR it’s so much easier to edit.

A tip I found when editing on photo room. when you cutout to replace original swipe what you want to keep and it should adjust the whole image.

If you would like I can send you a quick video of my screen

I've been using expensive DSLR Cameras for my stuff, and both my nice cameras have broke back to back, and been using my samsung phone, and i feel it takes better photos and easier to use then a professional camera, so when I expand and hire photographers again Im just gonna buy some older model samsungs

I edit right on the eBay listing I sellucards and I take 5 each front and back the main pictures are the front and back the added 4 each I highlight the corners.

Yet another helpful video😀. Thank you!

Hope they make a Windows version soon...

I think you mean style number. RN number only tells you the manufacturer, not the model of the item. Thanks for a very informative video. I have an M1 Macbookpro and did not know I could run Photoroom on it. Until now.

This is very helpful for us old non techie sellers, thank you so much!

I’ve been learning so much from you and appreciate your attention to detail! I watched the video you made about your photo setup and you used a grey sherpa, but it looks like you’re using white fabric in this one. Perhaps you changed over time. What type of fabric is this white one? Felt? It seems like the fabric sticks better to it without having to use a hanger, which I like.

Just a "heads up," THE FABRIC Item # 16935579 IS NOT THE THICK SHERPA FABRIC SHOWN BRIEFLY IN THE VIDEO. However, it does look like the fabric in the photo with the yellow pants. That one is a very thin 100% polyfilament and not 100% polyester. Solid Sherpa Faux Fur Fabric Item # zprd_17763343a is the fabric shown briefly in the video. I'm confused because Chris is successfully using with jeans on what appears to be the 16935579 in the picture, and I can't get a cotton polo shirt (collar) or swim trunks (waistband) to stick.

They added that button

Would an iPhone 7 Plus do good enough pictures and catch the true colors of an item please

Thank you Chris! Thank you so much!! Appreciate.

thank you Chris for the info.

Hey Chris, Been looking to make a photo setup like yours with the fabric, etc. Curious what the frame it's clipped on looks like. Did you build it? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi did you find out what fabric he uses ? Thank you

I'm watching your video on how to take photos in Photoroom. I just caught where you said that Photoroom can't be used on the web based lap top? I take my eBay photos with my Android phone, and then download to my computer as I edit each photo. Is this true about not being able to use on computer. What is the M1 ? processor? Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Paula

Serious question: Do you think you're wasting too much time making sure your pictures are perfect? I sell mainly jeans and it seems to me that it only matters that your items are presentable. Especially since they're common items

Even then I'm not even sure if it's that much of a difference considering the atrocious set ups I see when researching solds. I do promote my items at 5% so maybe that's why my sell through is so high

Insulated utility fabric from Joanne's Fabrics.

Once again fantastic content! Thanks so much Chris. Quick question I know eBay changed their policy on sneakers, but I thought that is what you mostly sold. Now you are selling clothing and no sneakers anymore correct?

Do you have the model number for the nonstick utility fabric you use from Joanne’s?

Hello. I quit my job in nursing and sell on EBay. I do like it especially the sourcing! So I hate the set up I have for clothing photos. I would like that slanted metal rack you use. I have googled and cannot find it. Would you please let me know where I could get one. I’m sure on Amazon but cannot locate it. Thank you so much!

I just received mine from Joann's (their website wouldn't process my payment after several attempts, and finally got an 800 number from a store and ordered over the phone. Then, I discovered they double charged me. Grrr). I'm very disappointed that I couldn't get athe top part of polo shirt (collar was too much weight) or a pair of cotton swim trunks (the waistband) to stick. I even put the cloth at a 45 degree angle and no luck. Has anyone overcome this challenge? Proven advice would be a big help! Thanks Great vids Chris I have learned a ton from your vids and the daily refinement Technsports podcasts. Very much appreciated.

I love PR!

Hi Chris! I'm new to your channel and excited to implement things that I'm learning. I've tried to do a search for you on eBay but nothing is coming up under "dailyrefinement". I wasn't sure if you have a store or not so I've searched both for store and seller. Is your name different now? (I've double checked spelling, etc.). Thanks!

Can you explain how to get the photoroom to work on M1? My new iMac desktop has the M1 chip in it, so I would love to use the Photoroom on it!

I think we have to pay for the pro version go get the square white background.

Hey Chris! 😀 I'm trying to see how you have your (board?) yet up... I bought the utility fabric from jo anns but trying to figure out how to prop something like that but something that is mobile since I like to use the dress form for some items. Thank you for another great video!

No. Same. Last year had to basically let my store go on cruise control for 6 months to take care of my Mom, and then ended all my items for an additional 3 months as she got worse. Missed all the freebies (listings) that eBay gave us last year and holiday sales. Since coming back, (without Mom who was my helper) I am slower in getting items up because of doing the other things she use to do. Can't afford to hire anyone. Also seems like this year I get low ball offers all the time. Did covid or the election change people's buying habits? I think so, but only a theory. 100% Feedback so that is not the problem. I think my store was in a different eBay algorithm before and this first quarter has been brutal.
